These bootleg manufacturers have no Skrupels!
But I’m sure they have as many Skerples as you want!
Im sure they ment “Super Skribble” and if you do as instructed “Smell it for the rest of the day”
Super Skerple, here to save the day! [insert superman music here]
Skerples are what you hire to help you climb Mt. Ebalest, right?
No, I’m sure it’s from a band’s name, Mott the Skerple.
Didn’t they become Deep Skerple?
Not sure – Who Do We Think They Are?
In this case, it’s not really Engrish. It’s an attempt to make a knock-off Sharpie that looks a lot like a Sharpie to the unobservant without violating the Sharpie trademark. (Whether it really does or not is a matter for a lawsuit to resolve.)

As someone who once owned a microscope with genuine Tasoo [sic] optics, this is obviously an issue of great relevancy to me, to which I respond, lol!
Did you try tasue the b@stards?
Nah, the Federal Trade Commission already had them under a microscope.
Sometimes, you just gotta let these things slide.
I suppose there’s no point in magnifying them out of proportion.
I’m not stain in this thread any longer if you’re going to make puns.
Can I help it if a thread lens itself to that kind of treatment?
*sigh* Can we try to be objective here?
Focus, and if you can agree on two points you can be bifocal.
I came *this* close to buying a package of these at the local dirt mall a while back because I thought they were Sharpies. There were like 50 of them in the package for $5. Crafty knockoff manufacturers!
$5.00 for imitation Sharpies.
$.02 for picture of imitation Sharpies.
One Engrish Funny: Priceless.
::takes out his skerpie, and writes on his white board::
Oh no it wasn’t a dry erase.. =[
Here’s one instance where you might prefer finding you were using a cheap knock-off, or perhaps a cheap erase-off.
One time, this co-worker of mine took a real sharpie and wrote on my white board in permenant marker.. And then when I pointed out what happened, he made no effort to remove it. *I* had to go downstairs, get this awful chemical, and wipe vigorously for 10 minutes to make things normal again, all while he watched and just went back to being on the computer.
Sounds like you work with some real sharpies.
He wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed
But he sure was a tool!
Hehe….tool.
I’m sure you were told to put some pants on.
D@MMIT, DROLL! *puts pants back on AGAIN*
Does this co-worker have a whiteboard of his/her own? If so, maybe you could get some payback. Take a real Sharpie marker and write something so that he/she will have to erase.
“Hi, I have no real reason whatsoever to leave you this note on your board with this permanent marker, except to say, have a nice day”
I already paid him back by taking a huge salary increase at another company years ago
Congratulations!
There is a Super Sharpie:

It’s just a larger, bolder Sharpie, as this is a larger, bolder Skerple.
Skerple, for when you’re not ready to commit to something 100% permanent.
But I WANT to commit to this site 100% permanent!
But what about skool?
I will give it the other 50%!
It appears your math classes are already under-committed.
You know he was joking, right?
I guess so.
And if you’re not the best at cursive then it’s a good thing that it’s down under the picture
When I worked at OfficeMax, I gave a co-worker some of these to write with. He had no clue that they were knock-offs. I then proceeded to announce out loud, “Dude you’ve got skerples?”.
Yes, yes I do.
Well, get to the doctor – you can get an ointment for the rash.
Oh…that’s what he meant. No, I don’t.
Denial, it’s not just a river in Egypt.
My name is NOT Daniel, and I do NOT live in Egypt!
You no haz a pyramid?
You ask me, this is turning into a pyramid scheme.
A penny-pinching co-worker picked up ofice supplies, among which were 10 packages of Sharyie markers that noone else in the office will use, because they are total crap, even if they do look like Sharpies™.
I wish it was just markers and purses. It is steel in bolts that are breaking in testing before installation in critical systems, tires that don’t stick to pavement and counterfeit drugs.
Counterfeit drugs? What is this world coming too?
Only way to be sure what you’re getting is to make them yourself!
Job opportunity!!
Be your own boss! (Realizes that comes out to B.Y.O.B)

I bought a whole pack of these at a surplus store for 2.50 because i thought it was sharpie, half of them where cracked and dried out.
tricky engrish
Even if they get caught, it’s still ridiculously profitable to make *almost* identical knockoffs of recognizable brands in China. It’s downright epidemic in proportions. I suppose that’s when you know you’ve really succeeded — when the counterfeiters start turning out imitations of your products.
I can’t imagine what kind of cost-cutting you’d have to do for a product whose marketing strategy was going to be “let’s hope people don’t realize it’s a copy of that other, higher-quality brand.”
They can steal the design and labeling since it is transmitted in digital format. They can use dangerous substitutions and less since they do not plan to use established distributors. They run on used machinery, borrowed money, graft, corruption, and unpaid labor until they are about to get caught.
Hah. Cheap knockoff. Anyone can see immediately that this is NOT a Super skerple. If it was a Super skerple, it would be wearing its underpants on the outside of its barrel. And have a teeny little cape.
Hah. Could be the Klark Cent version.
Obvy from the planet Krapton.
They sell these at a local shop near me. I may have to go get some…
Ah! The reverse marketing strategy is working!!
You might be tempted by that cheap price, but Sharpie knockoffs are terrible – they leak and drip all over everything. Very disappointing, but impossible not to try at least once.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!! He has a link that will be bad for trolls to get a hold of!
You know, my grandmother bought me a bunch of these for Christmas last year and I was debating taking a picture and submitting it. Skerples smell like cat food that’s gone bad and make you really dizzy if you use them for more than three seconds. I threw mine away because I couldn’t use them.
Holy crap, I have one of those!
